I'd just like to say that linsider isn't the only investment site focusing on linux companies. there are a few like OSInvestor, LinuxStockNews, and LWN's Stock Page, to name only 3.
Just wanted to point out a couple things for those who might not have noticed. 038-097-34-64 = ASIN for Cryptonomicon 068-486-42-23 = ASIN for Between Silk and Cyanide etc, etc No other hints on the other numbers;)
My question is: where does the Matrix come in? Do we have to freeze Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss now and save them up for when the Matrix is made? The invention of AI and those braincap's seems to suggest that this might happen.
just noticed that, pretty soon i bet we'll be seeing the barbie decal maker, and the make your own clothes for barbie printer, and the..well, you know what i mean. i guess the real profit in this is the additions that people who have it will just *have* to buy. maybe it isn't such a bad idea after all. *shrug* only time will tell
I just wonder if these will sell well, if at all. First off, they'd be a pretty damn expensive toy for a young kid, and it seems like kids old enough to really use a computer want more powerful computers rather than ones that look like a hot wheels racer. But with the age of many computers per household, it is possible that some parents will have computer for themself and one computer for the little tykes, with all the fun decals that they want. Most of my friend's parent's are obsessive about how their computer looks (desktop et al), so I can't really see many parents sitting down at the barbie machine to get some real work done. There's another thing too -- the kids who would probably really like these are probably too young to really use them. I'm not sure how many older kids are going to want a hot wheels pc for when their friend's come over. I supposed it's the natural extension, though, marketing PCs with endorsements from toys, movies, etc, etc. Maybe we'll have an Episode II style comp coming out from Lucasfilm. This is all IMHO, of course.

ps. this was mentioned a long time ago in pc magazine, and they had some little commentary for it.

Any chance you could scan in that picture and send me a copy? I was one of the Aurora guys passing out the bumper stickers :-).

Stock ticker apps on Palm's with wireless connections will probably be everywhere ;)
But seriously, I wonder how much of that stock will just be snapped up by the bigger companies like IBM, Intel, and, unfortunately, M$?
I'd love to get some, but I doubt it'll be possible in the frenzy.
Watch out e-stock brokers, here comes the world.
